Once the note 2 is finally released, we will be having this same conversation/argument next year about how the note 2 rooted and rommed is so much faster and better than the note 3.
Raiderwill, from all of your posts, all i can gather is that you sound like a salesman for the rom you are pushing, i mean, even including all of the screenshots, like that will convince someone to root and rom their phone.
Sure, rooting can increase performance or battery on some devices, but just understand that some people don't want to root or feel comfortable doing it. Smartphones are becoming popular with lots of people that are not as computer literate as you seem to be, so there is going to be hesitation on some people's part.
I for one have rooted and rommed numerous devices, but also like the new tech. Devices like my 10" tab, note 1, captivate, htc inspire and others all the way back to windows mobile. There are plusses and minuses to it, and it is not for everyone. Sometimes, it is just the amount of hoops that need to be jumped through just to unroot the device for warranty needs.
As far as the note 2 not coming to america, come on, all Samsung has to do is change some items and everything will be good to go. If they release it within the next 2 months, they can get them in the states before any preliminary hearings on the new lawsuit.
Another thing, didn't Samsung finalize the exynos quad core to run on LTE. Thought i read that on a tech blog a month or so ago.
